FAQs
What is Fulcrum Technology?
Fulcrum Technology is an advanced cushioning and stability system designed by KARHU to provide enhanced support, reduce impact, and promote a smoother, more efficient transition through the stride.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running heritage, the Super Fulcrum is primarily designed for everyday wear, comfort, and stability. For dedicated high-performance running, specialized running shoes may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing. Avoid water saturation.
What does the 'Finnish Line' guidance system do?
The Finnish Line guidance system is integrated into the shoe's design to offer enhanced stability and help guide the foot through a more natural motion path during wear.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
The trainers offer some protection due to their materials, but they are not fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain or damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
How do the reflective details work?
The reflective details are designed to catch and bounce back light from sources like headlights, improving your visibility in low-light or dark conditions.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or stiffness
This is common with new shoes featuring advanced support technology. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The T-profile outsole is designed for general grip. For extremely wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt or debris can affect traction.
Materials appear discolored after cleaning
Ensure you are using a damp, not wet, cloth for cleaning and avoiding harsh detergents. For suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Always air dry away from heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: The KARHU Super Fulcrum trainers are designed for general everyday wear and light athletic activity. They are compatible with casual attire and suitable for walking, commuting, and standing for extended periods.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and suede sections with a soft, damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the midsole and outsole. Ensure all cleaning residue is removed.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
